Winemakers Notes

Colour: Tinges on green on pale straw.
Bouquet: Aromas of passionfruit and lime wiht hints of kiwi fruit.
Palate: Fresh and flavoursome tropical fruits with hints of gooseberry, passionfruit and citrus followed by a clean, textural finish.
Cellaring Potential: Enjoy now while the fruit flavours dominate.
Vinification: With a timely shower of rain in December 2007, the vines were well equipped to tackle the heat of summer with plenty of vegetative growth and a wetter than normal soil profile. Grapes were harvested a little earlier than normal because of the warm Indian summer. Both batches of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc were harvested cold at night before gentle pressing for settling. Juice was then racked in a reductive manner to ferment. A variety of yeasts were used to enhance complexity and to encourage the development of texture which is further improved with periodic lees stirring.
Winemakers Comments: This style is all about regionality, freshness and vitality- enjoy!
Serving Suggestions: Serve chilled at 8-10 C
Enjoy wiht friends and a wood-fired pizza.
